Generally speaking, when R itself builds, it stores its CC,CXX,... settings in its configuration which then becomes the default. So in that case I could rebiuld R itself with g++-6. I don't have much experience "launching" a full binary migration in Debian but methinks we need this here. And once R has been rebuild, we can just do automatic (?) binary NMUs to get g++-6. (And for this particular bug I need to rebuild QuantLib as well.)

There are chroots and you can install packages. Very helpful, thank you. That should help. The accessible ones are the ones marked 'public' ?
